This application claims priority benefit to EP 06112296, filed Apr. 6, 2006, the entirety of which is incorporated herein.

The present invention relates to new thiazolyl-dihydro-quinazolines of general formula (I)

wherein the groups A, R¹, R², R^(a) and R^(b) have the meanings given in the claims and specification, the tautomers, racemates, enantiomers, diastereomers and the mixtures thereof, and optionally the pharmacologically acceptable acid addition salts, solvates and hydrates thereof, and processes for preparing these thiazolyl-dihydro-quinazolines and the use thereof as pharmaceutical compositions.

BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION

Phosphatidylinositol-3-kinases (PI3-kinases) are a subfamily of the lipid kinases which catalyse the transfer of a phosphate group to the 3′-position of the inositol ring of phosphoinositides.

They have a role in numerous cell processes such as e.g. cell growth and differentiation processes, the control of cytoskeletal changes and the regulation of intracellular transport processes (Vanhaesebroeck et al., Annu Rev Biochem. 2001; 70:535-602).

PI3-kinases may play a part in numerous tumours, such as e.g. breast cancer, ovarian or pancreatic carcinoma, in tumour types such as carcinomas of the colon, breast or lungs, but particularly in autoimmune diseases such as Crohn's disease or rheumatoid arthritis, for example, or in the cardiovascular system, e.g. in the development of cardiac hypertrophy (Oudit et al., Circulation. 2003 Oct. 28; 108(17):2147-52). PI3-kinase modulators may represent a possible method of anti-inflammatory therapy with comparatively minor side effects (Ward and Finan, Curr Opin Pharmacol. 2003 August; 3(4):426-34).

PI3-kinase inhibitors for treating inflammatory diseases are known in the literature. Thus, WO 03/072557 discloses 5-phenylthiazole derivatives, WO 04/029055 discloses annelated azolpyrimidines and WO 04/007491 discloses azolidinone-vinyl linked benzene derivatives. Moreover, the two specifications WO 04/052373 and WO 04/056820 disclose benzoxazine and benzoxazin-3-one derivatives.

The aim of the present invention is to provide new compounds which by virtue of their pharmaceutical activity as PI3-kinase modulators may be used therapeutically for the treatment of inflammatory or allergic diseases. Examples of these include inflammatory and allergic respiratory complaints, inflammatory and allergic skin complaints, inflammatory eye diseases, diseases of the nasal mucosa, inflammatory or allergic illnesses which involve autoimmune reactions or kidney inflammation.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Surprisingly it has been found that the above problem is solved by means of compounds of formula (I), wherein A and the groups R¹, R², R^(a) and R^(b) have the meanings given hereinafter.

It has been found, in particular, that compounds of formula (I) act as inhibitors of PI3-kinase, particularly as inhibitors of PI3-kinase gamma. Thus the compounds according to the invention may be used for example for the treatment of respiratory complaints.

The present invention therefore relates to compounds of general formula (I),

Biological Test

The compounds of formula (I) mentioned by way of example are characterised by an affinity for PI3-kinase, i.e. in the test by an IC50 value of below 800 nmol/litre.

In order to determine the inhibitory activity of the compounds on PI3Kγ, an in-vitro kinase assay was used. The expression and purification of Gβ₁γ₂-His and p101-GST/p110γ from Sf9-cells (Spodoptera frugiperda 9) has already been described (Maier et al., J. Biol. Chem. 1999 (274) 29311-29317). Alternatively, the following method was used to determine the activity:

10 μl of the compound to be tested were placed on 96 well PVDF filter plates (0.45 μM) and incubated for 20 min with 30 μl lipid vesicles (PIP₂ (0.7 μg/well), phosphatidylethanolamine (7.5 μg/well), phosphatidylserine (7.5 μg/well), sphingomyelin (0.7 μg/well) and phosphatidylcholine (3.2 μg/well)) which contained 1-3 ng PI3K□ and 20-60 ng G□₁□₂-His. The reaction was started by the addition of 10 μl reaction buffer (40 mM Hepes, pH 7.5, 100 mM NaCl, 1 mM EGTA, 1 mM □-glycerophosphate, 1 mM DTT, 7 mM MgCl₂ and 0.1% BSA; 1 μM ATP and 0.2 μCi [□-³³P]-ATP) and incubated for 120 min at ambient temperature. The reaction solution was sucked through the filters by the application of a vacuum and washed with 200 μl PBS. After the plates had been dried at 50° C. the radioactivity remaining in the plates was determined after the addition of 50 μl scintillation liquid using a Top-Count measuring device.

The propellant-driven inhalation aerosols according to the invention mentioned above may be administered using inhalers known in the art (MDIs=metered dose inhalers).

Moreover, the active substances according to the invention may be administered in the form of propellant-free inhalable solutions and suspensions. The solvent used may be an aqueous or alcoholic, preferably an ethanolic solution. The solvent may be water on its own or a mixture of water and ethanol. The relative proportion of ethanol compared with water is not limited but the maximum is preferably up to 70 percent by volume, more particularly up to 60 percent by volume and most preferably up to 30 percent by volume. The remainder of the volume is made up of water. The solutions or suspensions containing the active substance according to the invention are adjusted to a pH of 2 to 7, preferably 2 to 5, using suitable acids. The pH may be adjusted using acids selected from inorganic or organic acids. Examples of particularly suitable inorganic acids include hydrochloric acid, hydrobromic acid, nitric acid, sulphuric acid and/or phosphoric acid. Examples of particularly suitable organic acids include ascorbic acid, citric acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, maleic acid, succinic acid, fumaric acid, acetic acid, formic acid and/or propionic acid etc. Preferred inorganic acids are hydrochloric and sulphuric acids. It is also possible to use the acids which have already formed an acid addition salt with one of the active substances. Of the organic acids, ascorbic acid, fumaric acid and citric acid are preferred. If desired, mixtures of the above acids may be used, particularly in the case of acids which have other properties in addition to their acidifying qualities, e.g. as flavourings, antioxidants or complexing agents, such as citric acid or ascorbic acid, for example. According to the invention, it is particularly preferred to use hydrochloric acid to adjust the pH.

The addition of editic acid (EDTA) or one of the known salts thereof, sodium edetate, as stabiliser or complexing agent may optionally be omitted in these formulations. Other embodiments may contain this compound or these compounds. In a preferred embodiment the content based on sodium edetate is less than 100 mg/100 ml, preferably less than 50 mg/100 ml, more preferably less than 20 mg/100 ml. Generally, inhalable solutions in which the content of sodium edetate is from 0 to 10 mg/100 ml are preferred.

Co-solvents and/or other excipients may be added to the propellant-free inhalable solutions. Preferred co-solvents are those which contain hydroxyl groups or other polar groups, e.g. alcohols—particularly isopropyl alcohol, glycols—particularly propyleneglycol, polyethyleneglycol, polypropyleneglycol, glycolether, glycerol, polyoxyethylene alcohols and polyoxyethylene fatty acid esters. The terms excipients and additives in this context denote any pharmacologically acceptable substance which is not an active substance but which can be formulated with the active substance or substances in the pharmacologically suitable solvent in order to improve the qualitative properties of the active substance formulation. Preferably, these substances have no pharmacological effect or, in connection with the desired therapy, no appreciable or at least no undesirable pharmacological effect. The excipients and additives include, for example, surfactants such as soya lecithin, oleic acid, sorbitan esters, such as polysorbates, polyvinylpyrrolidone, other stabilisers, complexing agents, antioxidants and/or preservatives which guarantee or prolong the shelf life of the finished pharmaceutical formulation, flavourings, vitamins and/or other additives known in the art. The additives also include pharmacologically acceptable salts such as sodium chloride as isotonic agents.
